Criminal and malicious hackers are endlessly inventive and every day despatch novel viruses and other digital threats into cyber-space to wreak havoc. Getting paid to tackle these is about as cutting edge as you can ...

That captures the fact that, more often than not, the fire brigade arrive to find a building still in flames. When it comes to cyber-fires, that means the hackers are still embedded in a victim’s network and are still trying to steal data or burrow more deeply.

Unlike the fire service, the BAE team do not arrive in a blaze of lights and sirens. They have to be more stealthy.

“If the attackers have access to the victim’s email servers the last thing you want to do is discuss it on there,” says Robin Oldham, head of the cyber-security consulting practice at BAE, who is also part of the incident response team.

Tipping off the bad guys could prompt them to delete evidence or, if they have more malicious motives, shut down key systems and destroy data, he says.

Instead, responders first gather evidence to see how bad the incident is and how far the hackers have penetrated a network.

It’s at this point that the team use the skills picked up during earlier careers. All of the team have solid technical computer skills to which they have added particular specialities.

Responders first gather evidence to see how bad the incident is and how far the hackers have penetrated a network

Prior to working at BAE, Mr Allman-Talbot did digital forensics for the Metropolitan Police and Mr Oldham has significant experience running large complex networks.

The good news about most organisations is that they typically gather lots of information about their network and often it is anomalies in the logs that expose suspicious activity.

But that extensive logging has a down side, says Mr Oldham.

“It can mean we have a large amount of data to work with and analyse. In some cases that means a few hundred million lines of log files.”

Once incident response teams get their hands on data from a victim they start analysing it to see what has happened.

It’s at this point that the allied discipline of threat intelligence comes into play. This involves knowing the typical attack tools and techniques of different hacking groups.

A stealthy response to an incident is key, says Robin Oldham

“If you understand how they operate and deploy these tools and use them to attack the infrastructure you know what to look and how to spot the tell-tale signs.”

In the past, nation state hackers have tried to bury themselves in a target network and siphon off data slowly.

“Criminal hackers have a more smash and grab mentality. They do it once and do it big,” he says.

More recently, he adds, it has got harder to separate the spies from the cyber-thieves.

One example was the attack on Bangladesh’s central bank – widely believed to have been carried out by North Korea. It netted the rogue state about £58m ($81m).

Russian groups also span both sides of the divide. Some criminal groups have been seen working for the state and often they use the tools gained in spying for other jobs.

“The motivations of the groups have really become blurry of late,” says Mr Hill.

Attribution – working out which group was behind a breach – can be difficult, says Mr Allman-Talbot, but spotting that one attack shares characteristics with several others can guide the investigators.

One widespread attack, dubbed Cloud Hopper, sought to compromise companies selling web-based services to large businesses. Getting access to a service provider could mean that the attackers then got at all its customers.

Thoroughly investigated by BAE and others, Cloud Hopper has been blamed on one of China’s state-backed hacking groups known as APT10 and Stone Panda. Knowing how they got at a victim can help free the hackers’ hold on a network and reveal all the places that need cleaning up.

Even with up-to-date intelligence on attack groups and their chosen methods, there will still be unanswered questions thrown up by an investigation, says Mr Allman-Talbot.

The joy of the job comes from during investigations as the team figures out how the bad guys got in, what they did and what data they got away with, he adds.

Future of Work

BBC News is looking at how technology is changing the way we work, and how it is creating new job opportunities.

He likens it to solving complex puzzles and problems using experience, good hunches, deep analysis and coding skills. It’s a challenging profession that regularly bestows solid intellectual rewards.

“There are lots of eureka moments,” he says.

The deep knowledge built up by the responders as they investigate and clean up a breach can also help others that might not even know they have been penetrated, says Mr Oldham.

“There are people that see the smoke alarm go off and pick up the phone and tell us that something is wrong. There’s others that we go to and tell them that their house is on fire,” he adds.

There’s little doubt that the cyber-responder’s job is going to get more important in future

Mr Allman-Talbot says some of the satisfaction with the job comes from helping people and making life online safer.

“Just as with criminal cases, there’s a real sense of doing good. We are investigating incidents that have badly affected these organisations.”

There’s little doubt that the job is only going to more important as time goes on. The cyber-spies will not stop and are only going to get better at what they do.

“It’s just going to get more and more complex,” says Mr Allman-Talbot. “It’s the next form of warfare.”

Now, instead of taking him on the roster, they can take someone they really need — like an extra pitcher, for instance.

In what comes as no surprise given his past in pinstripes, Ellsbury, who has been sidelined for much of the spring due to an oblique injury, is expected to start the 2018 season on the disabled list.

“I mean, it’s going to be too hard to get him into enough games and get him enough at-bats,” Aaron Boone said. “I don’t think we’ve totally closed the door on that, but I would say it’s looking very unlikely.”

Giancarlo Stanton feeling comfortable in left field and clubhouse

Ellsbury was supposed to get some simulated at-bats against CC Sabathia on Monday in Tampa before finally getting a couple ABs back in a spring game on Tuesday in Lakeland.

But those plans were scrapped since Ellsbury was still experiencing flu-like symptoms.

“It’s just a bummer,” Boone said, though Yankees fans may disagree. “Hopefully he can knock this bug out in 24 hours. At least we feel like he’s totally healed up from his injury, so he should be ready to get going once he gets rid of this bug.”

Ellsbury, 34, still has three years and $68 million left on his deal, and already he’s lost his starting job in center to Aaron Hicks. The Bombers tried to trade him, but despite their willingness to eat a portion of his remaining deal, they found no takers.

Jacoby Ellsbury will likely begin the season on the DL.

Boone said the Yankees won’t necessarily take another outfielder on their 25-man roster. They already have everyday regulars in Brett Gardner, Hicks, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, and the versatile Tyler Wade is capable of playing there should the team find itself in a bind.

“I’ll let you guys speculate,” Boone replied when asked who the guy could be.

In truth, despite a bullpen full of power arms, the Bombers could actually use a long man. Chad Green and Adam Warren are capable of going multiple innings, but they aren’t the type of guys you want to bring in over the first three frames early in the regular season if a starter struggles out of the gate.

German could be the best swingman of that group — and he’s posted a 2.84 ERA this spring over five games (two starts).

Still, it’s possible the Yankees could want both German and Cessa taking regular turns in the minors in case of injury to the likes of veterans CC Sabathia, Sonny Gray or Masahiro Tanaka, which could open a spot for Holder or Heller.

Regardless, the Bombers have plenty of options.

A three-man bench featuring three of Wade, Neil Walker, Ronald Torreyes and Austin Romine seems like enough for now. Tyler Austin and Billy McKinney are candidates if the Yankees decided to take an extra bench guy.

So Ellsbury’s absence doesn’t really seem like a big deal. And who knows, maybe he’ll become a factor later in the season.

The UK’s Information Commissioner says she will seek a warrant to look at the databases and servers used by British firm Cambridge Analytica.

The company is accused of using the personal data of 50 million Facebook members to influence the US presidential election in 2016.

Its executives have also been filmed by Channel 4 News suggesting it could use honey traps and potentially bribery to discredit politicians.

The company denies any wrongdoing.

Fresh allegations

On Monday, Channel 4 News broadcast hidden camera footage in which Cambridge Analytica chief executive Alexander Nix appears to suggest tactics his company could use to discredit politicians online.

In the footage, asked what “deep digging” could be done, Mr Nix told an undercover reporter: “Oh, we do a lot more than that.”

He suggested one way to target an individual was to “offer them a deal that’s too good to be true and make sure that’s video recorded”.

He also said he could “send some girls around to the candidate’s house…” adding that Ukrainian girls “are very beautiful, I find that works very well”.

Mr Nix continued: “I’m just giving you examples of what can be done and what has been done.”

Channel 4 News said its reporter had posed as a fixer for a wealthy client hoping to get a political candidate elected in Sri Lanka.

However, Cambridge Analytica said the report had “grossly misrepresented” the conversations caught on camera.

“In playing along with this line of conversation, and partly to spare our ‘client’ from embarrassment, we entertained a series of ludicrous hypothetical scenarios,” the company said in a statement.

“Cambridge Analytica does not condone or engage in entrapment, bribes or so-called ‘honeytraps’,” it said.

Mr Nix told the BBC’s Newsnight programme that he regarded the report as a “misrepresentation of the facts” and said he felt the firm had been “deliberately entrapped”.

Investigation

UK Information Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is already investigating Cambridge Analytica over claims it used the personal data of 50 million Facebook members to influence the US presidential election.

Christopher Wylie, who worked with the company, claimed it amassed the data of millions of people through a personality quiz on Facebook that was created by an academic.

Ms Denham had demanded access to Cambridge Analytica’s databases and servers by 18:00 GMT but said the firm had missed her deadline.

“I’m not accepting their response so therefore I’ll be applying to the court for a warrant,” she told Channel 4.

“We need to get in there, we need to look at the databases, we need to look at the servers and understand how data was processed or deleted by Cambridge Analytica.”

‘Violation’

Cambridge Analytica insists it followed the correct procedures in obtaining and using data, but it was suspended from Facebook last week.

Facebook, meanwhile, said it had hired its own digital forensic team to audit Cambridge Analytica.

“This is part of a comprehensive internal and external review that we are conducting to determine the accuracy of the claims that the Facebook data in question still exists,” the firm said.

“If this data still exists, it would be a grave violation of Facebook’s policies and an unacceptable violation of trust and the commitments these groups made.”

Facebook added that Aleksandr Kogan, the creator of the personality app from which the data had been harvested, had also agreed to be audited.

However, it said Mr Wylie – who made the claims about the way the data was gathered and used – had declined.

A new study that followed the lives of 20 million American children and their parents found that even when black boys are brought up within some of the wealthiest families in the country, they still end up earning less than their equally advantaged white counterparts — as well as their white, comparatively disadvantaged peers.

The research group — which included experts from Stanford University, Harvard University and the Census Bureau — determined that white boys who grow up rich typically remain that way into adulthood, but black boys who grow up among wealth are far more likely to eventually become poor in 99% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.

These numbers were not consistent among black and white girls. With young women, their eventual earnings were about even when the incomes of their families were taken into consideration.

For young black boys born into poverty, the study saw that over the course of their lifetimes, they had a 2.5% chance of rising up into the top tier of household wealth, but whites raised under similar circumstances saw a 10.6% chance. This difference in economic mobility has created a multi-generational “stuck in place” predicament that’s unlikely to change, the authors wrote.

An unlikely group supports ‘Black Panther’ — white nationalists

Even when comparing the families of young black and white boys with parents who are married and have similar education and wealth levels, the young black men had lower income levels later in life than the white men. These results were consistent among black boys with varying family dynamics as well, debunking long-held beliefs that black-white disparities stem from education or parental backgrounds.

The study couldn’t conclude with evidence why exactly this gap exists between white and black boys, but it did note one major statistic as a potential catalyst for inequality: “21% of black men born to poor families are incarcerated on a given day, far higher than for any other subgroup.”

Geography also proved to be a nonfactor in the study’s search for an answer. It saw that the best metro areas of the country for economic mobility out of poverty among black boys are comparable to the absolute worst areas for white boys to live and try to get out of a low-income life. Using Census data, the researchers discovered that black boys have lower rates of upward economic status than white boys do in 99% of Census tracts (or neighborhoods) in America.

There were two factors seen by the study that did positively impact the eventual outcomes of black men: living with low levels of racial bias from white people and with fathers and father figures.

Black men who grew up in neighborhoods with less racism and active biases from white people earned more and were less likely to be imprisoned. Similarly, black boys who have fatherly presences in their lives had better futures. The male figure didn’t even have to be their own father to have a positive effect on the black child, according to the study, further emphasizing the earlier finding that marriage within a household doesn’t hold as much weight in the eventual outcome of a kid as once believed.

However, the researchers found that less than 5% of black children in America currently live in areas with a low poverty rate (less than 10%), with more than half of their fathers present.

Innovations like mentorship programs for black boys, efforts to reduce racial bias in white kids starting at a young age and within the criminal justice system can all tighten the black-white gap, the study said.

“We view the development and evaluation of such efforts as a valuable path forward to reducing racial gaps in upward mobility, and look forward to supporting policymakers, community leaders, and citizens in achieving these goals.”

More than 400 schools in England have received a hoax email threatening to detonate a bomb on school grounds if money is not handed over, police said.

A number of schools were evacuated, but police said there was no evidence the threats were terror-related.

Schools in London, Manchester and North Yorkshire were among those affected.

The email appeared to come from gaming firm VelpPVP, but the company said the account had been “spoofed” and the message had not come from them.

Schools and colleges in Cumbria, Cambridgeshire, East Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, Lincolnshire, West Midlands, Derbyshire, Avon and Somerset and Northumbria were also targeted.

Humberside Police said 19 schools in its area reported receiving the threat.

Det Supt Tony Cockerill, from the force, said: “We have spoken to all schools who have contacted us, reassured them that there is no need to evacuate and offered them security advice.”

Greater Manchester Police’s Assistant Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine said she understood parents and the general public would be very concerned, adding: “I want to assure you that we are working closely with all of the schools to ensure the safety of pupils and staff.

“We are carrying out extensive enquiries to understand the full circumstances and although there is not currently believed to be any direct threat, as with any report of this nature, they are all being thoroughly investigated.”

A North Yorkshire Police statement described the threat as a “hoax”, adding: “Our cybercrime unit detectives, supported by local officers, have looked at these incidents and it is not believed there is any genuine threat.”

“I noticed a little bit of activity going on. I went through to student support and all of a sudden a notification went out that the school was being evacuated.

“My son George was in class at the time. The students were evacuated out of the school building and told to ring their parents. An email was sent out to all the parents.”

Another affected school, Dowdales secondary in Cumbria, tweeted: “As you may know the school office received a threatening email this morning.

“The decision was taken to evacuate the school as a precaution. Students and staff are safe and have returned to normal lessons.”

Facebook is challenging Twitch and YouTube for video game live streaming supremacy with the release of its new Games SDK for PC. After testing Live streaming from games like Overwatch from developers like Blizzard since 2016, today Live broadcasting from PC games to the News Feed opens to all developers. And Facebook will let them reward fans who watch by providing in-game items or bonuses. For example, beneath the comments reel, users might see a promotion like “Watch Paladins streams for a chance to earn random loot to use in-game.”

The potential for viral growth and sales could convince tons of game developers to bake in Facebook’s new SDK, while players could use the simple broadcasting feature to reach a big audience — though one not as dedicated to gaming as on other platforms. Viewers might choose to watch on Facebook because they get rewarded there. Facebook meanwhile benefits because game streams create compelling niche content that can drive long viewing sessions, helping Facebook monetize viewers in the moment with ads while locking them deeper into the platform long-term.

Facebook is also hooking up developers with deeper analytics through custom “app events” that are now available on PC as well as web and mobile. Game developers can also integrate Facebook’s enhanced Friend Finder feature that lets them play with friends and now see “Key Player Stats” about other people they want to join up with to keep playing together. Developers who want access to the SDK can sign up here.

Facebook got a late start in the game streaming world but has been rapidly developing features and signing deals to grow its viewer base and content catalogue. It inked a deal with esports league leader ESL last year, and just added streaming from tournaments of top games like Counter-Strike and DOTA. It’s brought Live streaming to Messenger games. Facebook also recently started testing a way for viewers to tip cash to their favorite streaming stars, and has even hired some of them for its games team.

The question will be if a catch-all mainstream social network can succeed in such a niche content space. 800 million people play Facebook-connected games each month. But not everyone’s real-world friends care about video games or want to watch their buddies play, so broadcasts could fall flat if they don’t find the particular subset who love gaming. On networks like Twitch or corners of YouTube, people are there specifically to watch game stream. So Facebook will have to use rapid feature development, and it’s size and potential for audience growth to attracts streamers, viewers, and developers. Otherwise gamers might stay where they never feel embarrassed about their passion.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) — An 18-year-old Florida high school student who says he was bullied is accused of threatening a mass shooting in a Snapchat post.

Lakeland police say the teen was arrested Thursday after students told school resource officers he had posted a video Wednesday saying he would “commit manslaughter” Tuesday.

Lakeland police Sgt. Gary Gross told media the Lakeland High student participated in Wednesday’s national school walkout calling for gun control in the wake of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting. In the video, the teen said six students made derogatory and homophobic remarks to him during the demonstration.

Gross says the teen didn’t file a complaint.

Detectives didn’t find any weapons at his home. The teen told police he didn’t intend to execute the threats. He’s been charged with transmitting a threat.

Gov. Cuomo raised hell in church on Sunday, bedeviling Mayor de Blasio on his home turf over his public housing crisis.

During a morning service at God’s Battalion of Prayer Church in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Cuomo echoed his father’s acclaimed 1984 “Tales of Two Cities” speech to condemn the alarming disrepair and danger at NYCHA’s properties.

The governor referenced his Saturday visit to the heatless, mold-infested Taft Houses as fuel to blast nemesis NYCHA.

“It was disgusting, disgusting,” Cuomo told a packed crowd at Linden Blvd. house of worship. “You have people in public housing still living in lead paint.”

Cuomo vows to free up another $250M for NYCHA repairs

“You would have thought it was a Charles Dickens novel,” he said. “That’s discrimination in housing.”

He told congregants residents in the Harlem building haven’t had heat since Christmas Eve. Cuomo announced during the Taft Houses tour he would free up $250 million in state funds for the city’s housing woes.

He visited the bug-ridden Jackson Houses last week.

A spokeswoman for Mayor de Blasio, whose administration oversees the city agency, fired back at the governor on Monday.

“The mayor’s public housing investments are at record levels, while the Governor’s promises have fallen far short,” the official said. “After three decades of Andrew Cuomo’s political involvement in New York City, we do welcome his new interest in helping our city’s public housing tenants.”

Cuomo also lambasted a national political foe.

Cuomo challenged President Trump to visit his hometown housing to see if his “Make America Great Again” message is working.

“Go visit a unit like I did with vermin and mold and a child who has asthma and you tell me if you made America great again,” Cuomo said.

NYCHA receives funding through Trump’s Department of Housing and Urban Development, the agency led by Ben Carson.

The governor also panned de Blasio’s 10-year plan to shutter Riker’s Island, which he slammed as the worst jail in New York.

He accused de Blasio of putting off the closure as an attempt to make it another mayor’s problem.

“We’re building a new LaGuardia Airport, it takes four years. We’re building a new bridge over the Hudson River, it takes five years. They wanted to build Yankee Stadium, it took them one year,” Cuomo said. “You know what it means when they say it takes them 10 years to build a jail? It’s not a priority.”
